Blast preview

October 30, 1990|By Sandra McKee

VS. CLEVELAND CRUNCH

* WHEN: Baltimore Arena.

* WHERE: 7:05 p.m.

* RADIO: WCAO-AM 600.

* OUTLOOK: Cleveland (1-1), which did not even qualify for the playoffs, split eight games with the Blast (1-2) last year. The Crunch is coming off a tough, 3-2 loss to Kansas City. The Blast exploded for 13 goals vs. St. Louis Saturday. Cleveland won two preseason games against the Blast in North Carolina. Meanwhile, the Blast comes into this game on a high note, having won a barn burner Saturday, 13-9, over the powerful St. Louis Storm. Billy Ronson, who has been named the Major Soccer League's Offensive Player of the Week because of his one-goal, six-assist performance, is ready to pass the ball to anyone and everyone, if it means a Blast goal. "I don't care who I give it to," he said. "I'll even give it to a player on the other team, if he'll put it in our net."
